Why did Nike want Michael Jordan to endorse its sneaker line ?

hm...not sure, but here's what i found ^^

Explanation:

While Jordan liked Adidas, his agent, David Falk, wanted him to go with Nike. “Adidas was really dysfunctional by that time,” says Falk, who represented Jordan from 1984 to 2003. “And they had just told me, We’d love to have Jordan. We just can’t make a shoe work at this point in time.

“I wanted Michael to go with Nike because they were the upstart.”

i have read the novel roll of thunder hear my cry by mildred d. taylor.

1. this isn't like any other story i've read or watched because it is about a black family in mississippi right after slavery in the u.s. had become illegal. most of the novels i have read were about slavery. another point is that the author of the novel used symbolism in a way i haven't seen before. for example she uses thunder as something negative meaning something bad will happen. but by the end of the novel, she made thunder a good thing.

2.   one character that changed during the novel was stacey. stacey is the eldest child of the black logan family. around the begging of the novel stacey was avoiding the white boy jeremy simms. he had a dislike for jeremy's family. but at the end of the novel stacey began to like jeremy.

3. the author starts the novel with the problem that the children of the logan family have to avoid the white kid school bus while walking to school.

she is outspoken and direct
